Spring is in full swing, and there's no better time to get fresh veggies. But this spring, many locals are especially concerned about where those veggies are coming from.
One increasingly popular way to support local farmers and get the freshest seasonal produce available: Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) or farm boxes. These programs connect locals directly with farms in the region, providing weekly or biweekly deliveries of fruits, vegetables, and other farm-fresh products.
Subscribers get quality Canadian-grown food while producers get community support in a regular, predictable framework.
Whether you’re looking for organic produce, farm-fresh eggs, or artisan goods, here’s a roundup of CSA and farm box options currently available in Greater Victoria.
